JEREMIAH WARRIORS!


The Holy Spirit has been directing me to challenge the Church to claim the Prophet Jeremiah's mandate (Jeremiah 1:10). With this mandate comes the responsibility to use the powerful weapons of the Word and Prayer to wage war in the spiritual domain over our city (Ephesians 612).
We are called to "root out" principalities and to "pull down" powers and rulers; to "destroy" spiritual hosts of wickedness and to "throw down" the works of darkness; to "build" and to "plant" the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ!

Thanking God for Protection!

I was involved in a serious auto accident Saturday evening. We are thanking God that neither I nor my driver, Pastor Isaac, experienced any injuries. Another car swerved across the highway and hit us just about head on. Both cars were totally wrecked. I had just finished the final teaching session and powerful ministry time at our annual Men's Retreat and we were traveling back to Toronto. The Lord must have assigned His angels to protect us! The police investigating officers were shaking their heads in disbelief that neither of us were hurt.

WINDS OF CHANGE!

The winds of change continued to blow this past week. Dramatic changes to the political landscape like we have experienced in Toronto have also happened throughout the United States. The political prognosticators and pundits offer their best explanations but most are “looking through a darkened glass”. Most of their observations are simply an analysis of the reflections of their own images.
The perceptive disciple of the Lord Jesus views such events through a different lens than others. We recognize clearly that God is at work. We understand that the words spoken by the people of God have indeed initiated action in the Heavens. The Spirit of the Lord our God has responded to our desires and decrees and caused an extraordinary shifting.
The blowing wind has not only changed the landscape, it has brought a new spiritual atmosphere. Now is the time to sow into this new day. Now is the time to broaden and intensify our actions for the Kingdom of Christ! It is time to witness with greater boldness, to praise and worship with greater passion, to pray with greater faith, to decree with greater authority, to give with greater measure, to walk with greater confidence, to claim with greater insistence, and to dream with greater vision.
I am instructed by the Holy Spirit to declare that now is the time to –
“ASK” for new things!
(things you thought you could not have)
“SEEK” in new places!
(places you thought you could not go)
“KNOCK” on new doors!
(doors you thought you could not enter)
